'My runic scar…'
Uriel could very tangibly feel his runic scar suddenly stir and gain consciousness, its fabric shivering in excitement as he swallowed the seed.
'It's sentient?!'
The runic scar shook, then—shockingly—pulled the seed out of his stomach and toward it, instantly devouring it as its golden radiance became blinding.
And then…it went back to normal.
'What the hell was that?!' His pupils shook. 'Is the seed something that can…make my runic scar stronger?'
If this was the case, this was perhaps the most important reward he'd ever gotten.
His runic scar was the only reason he was still alive, and if he could somehow find a way to methodically upgrade it, things would be totally different.
A smile appeared on his face.
'What a nice haul.'
…
After going through his rewards, Uriel decided to lay camp near the gate.
He decided he'd stay a couple more nights in the hall before he left through the gate and began whatever journey awaited him.
